Hello 54

It's 54 degrees outside today, and I haven't felt this good in a very VERY long time. The air smells like spring, the wind is just cool enough to need a jacket or a sweater, and i can roll my window down and not freeze. Yes, it's a good day. I put The Arkells on the stereo today, and just drove. Feels so good.

As i was driving today, i noticed i could see the grass for the first time in months...and as i made this discovery, I watched a yellow and black empty salt bag glide across the street, dancing in the wind on its way to wherever it will lay to rest. I felt that it was a symbol...its weight of salt has been exhausted and it no longer has use, as the snow rapidly recedes from the streets and lawns. It's as if it was saying goodbye, waving to us until next year.

I know i am being optimistic. I know winter isn't over, and i know we will get hit with another storm before we can say hello to spring, but it's so worth it to soak this up while it's here.

So i sit here, sipping on my Chai Latte, and slowly feeling the stress peel away, layer by layer. My friend sean gave me a spare iPod which has been my life saver. Nothing, in my opinion, makes a day better than the perfect mix of weather, music, and a solid fragrance. When the weather hits you just right, and you have the just right music to go with it, it's a feeling i can't describe. It's a good day today.

I also finally have my computer back, and fixed better than ever! This is also a huge mood booster. I no longer feel lost. It sounds stupid but having my computer with me is a huge part of my life.

just can't wait to hit the open road today, and get up on stage. It's been too long.
